VM backups in Cloud Backup are automatically created on the schedule specified in the respective policy.
To create a non-scheduled VM backup:
Management console
- In the management console
, select a folder in which to create a backup. - In the list of services, select Compute Cloud.
- Select the VM to create a backup of.
- Go to the Backups tab.
- Click Create backup.
- In the window that opens, select the backup policy to create the VM backup under and click Create.
The VM backup creation will start.
